I know that Ive not even got No 1 baby yet... but does anyone else feel a little sad that given the troubles that we have that we might only have one child? I know I'll be extremely grateful just having one baby... but I always thought I'd have 2 or 3 children.

Does it make anyone else feel a little sad??
 
I think about it I'm just starting out with all the treatments and hope that everything goes smoothly Ive always wanted 2.

Just still hoping and praying for #1 !!
Goodluck to u !!
 
Oh yes! I'm the same as you, I used to say I wanted 3, and I've always wanted a daughter and used to joke with hubby that we would have to keep going until we had a girl! Oh to go back to that naivety!

But seriously, it does hurt, I want to be able to take for granted that I can have as many children as I want. Not to be unable to have a second/ third because we can't afford it.

Hugs to you xxxx
 
Yes i feel the same, I want a big family. And its taking soooo long even to have one x
 
I know what you mean but it doesn't make me sad really. Like you say, I'd be happy with just one but I really want 3. But my plan is, should I ever be fortunate enough to fall pregnant and have just one baby, I don't want to ever go back to the "trying" again and obsessing, wondering when I'm ovulating, looking for any kind of symptom, testing all the time. My plan would be not to go back on the pill and I just feel with that kind of mindset, I wouldn't obsess and it would probably happen naturally. I've had one miscarriage and one chemical so I know it's possible for my husband to get me pregnant so, even though both were awful experiences, I do feel it gives me some hope.

And my boss at work is signed up to some kind of twins group where she receives hundreds of emails. I have to check her emails when she doesn't work and I did come across one that actually gave me hope (normally I delete them all). This one was from a woman warning other women who've had IVF and had a baby through this (or twins in her case) that she fell pregnant naturally almost straight after she'd given birth, even though she was told she wouldn't fall pregnant without any kind of medical intervention. Then someone else had replied saying the same thing happened to her. I really do think pregnancy is more likely to happen when you are least expecting it. I've also got a friend who used to work in a private IVF clinic. She said it was amazing the amount of couples who had to cancel once they'd booked because they'd fallen pregnant naturally. So there must be something in it.

But I do know what you mean. Seeing some people fall pregnant so easily just upsets me because I'm struggling for just the one, which I would be more than happy with. Fingers crossed we'll get there in the end xxx
 
me too chick, holding out hope for twins on the first pregnancy :hugs: xxx
 
I totally know what you mean, I had always hoped for 3 kids, now I'm 37 and hoping for twins at least.
 
trying for number 2 right now...you know took us a while to have Trystan...my doc wants us to try "naturally " for 6 months and then if nothing we will take clomid again...
we are at number cycle 3 (really paying attention at ovulation ") and we havent use any contraception since Trystan birth ok havent BD much either but still ...i know it is still early but in the back of my mine ..i wonder if i will need clomid again...so many friend of mine already started for number 2 and are already pregnant of course and me still behind ...

Anyway i am not stress because i do have my mini man ...but still i think i know its going to take me a little longer then normal average again:growlmad:
 
I always saw myself with a big family and I'm one of four. But now at 38 and two failed IVF cycles I find it hard to even see myself with one baby :cry:
 
Awe Tansey :hugs:

I am the same. I am one of 4 kids and a very large extended family.

Dh and I always talked about having 3 or 4 and now I would love even just one - but I am definitely sad to think that even if I do get 1 - how hard will it be to get a second one.
 
I can't even contemplate a second one yet. Even being able to have one feels hopeless right now, I would be happy with just that...

Yes i do.. i have one daughter and im eternally grateful for that but i would love to have two and then ill feel completely content but with the IVF no.1 ending in a termination i feel let down and IVF no.2 didnt work i wonder if its ever going to happen for us and what if it doesnt? I dont think i could ever accept that ill never have another child and what impact that will have on me. Worrying times :hugs:

This happened to us and I'm having the same thoughts right now re maybe ever getting pregnant again.

Hi, I always thought I'd have two children, but now I'd just be soooo grateful to have one. But it does make me sad that my life probably won't turn out the way I'd always dreamed it would as a child. x
 
Yep, I'm with you. I'm the youngest of 2 girls but there's only 18 months between us. I've always wanted two, about that distance apart so they could (hopefully) enjoy the relationship I have with my sister (ok, our relationship has significantly improved since we hit adulthood! :haha:). Like other ladies who have posted I will be so, so grateful when I finally get my first but I really would love to have 2.
 
I have always imagined having a large family, but now with the troubles DH and I have been experiencing my hope is slowly diminishing. I know we are young (21 & 22) but we have been trying for 32/33 months now, and the problems just seem to be more each month lol.

Best of Luck Ladies!!!
